FortiGate to switch FortiLink via Ubiquiti Loco M5 – stability?

[Mosep]

“Is it possible to run FortiLink between a FortiGate and a switch over a Wi‑Fi bridge using two antennas, such as Ubiquiti Loco M5? Are there any known limitations or issues with stability?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Second doc is made with FortiAP but I don't see a reason why it doesn't work with other brand.

Thank you for the tips. In that case, it’s time for some testing

No. FortiLink does not work for non-Fortinet devices.

Here the 3rd party switch is not involved in FortiLink and doesn't need to support it, it is just a bridge for it.
